Picked enough Foch grapes to make 50 gal. of must on Sept 14
ph=3.56
ta=6.6
sg=1.101
Added Rc212 yeast to 40 gallons and 71b-1122 to the other 10 gal the following day. Removed from primary and pressed yesterday September 19. sg=1.021 Put in carboys with airlocks. Also added a handfull of half med french oak chips and american oak chips to carboys. Thinking of adding malolactic culture at some point. I was hoping to get some commets about the numbers I got off these grapes, what I may have done differently, or maybe something I should do to make this batch better. This is my second year making wine\growing grapes and I have learned a ton from this site! Thanks in advance for any comments.
